"Cultivation on a behemoth scale."
The Aratore is a common sight in any agricultural colony. It can plant seeds, distribute water, and distribute crop protection agents over any size field. Each of these functions are done in air, and therefore replace most manual work. Machines like the Aratore currently facilitate most large-scale farming operations.

@jlewisifer Thanks! The challenge was quite fun. I'm glad that you hosted it.
Congrats, your creative sci-fi take on agriculture has won! Also like the creative use of modded guns. Well done.
This is awesome
@ZephyrSystems Probably, I have developed two styles out of new Portum. The first uses intricate natural patterns, while the second is exemplified by this craft.
Would be nice to fly this around a farm :D
Could use a military refit! Nice work!
Awesome! very creative use of the guns as seed dispersers and waterers. I dig the futuristic twist!
The guns are insane!!!!!!
